Sunset: Twilight’s smarter than me, and I could easily beat Dash in a nerd off.

Applejack: Now y’all wait one cotton pickin’ minute. Rainbow Dash is really darn smart! She might not show it off because she’s tryin’ to act cool, but I think you’re gonna be surprised when she shows y’all up! C’mon Rainbow! You got a nerd off to win!

Dash: Aw yeah! We’re gonna be unstoppable!

Twilight: Is anyone going to ask me for my opinion?

Sunset: C’mon Twilight, you’ve got a nerd off to win.

Twilight: Could you please carry this trophy!?

Mod: So what kinda games and competition would you like to see in the Nerd Off? Send me an ASK to let me know!

So, about that biplane pegasus thing: does this mean unicorns talented enough to self-levitate can snuggle together with other unicorns into fluffy zeppelins?

I think we all know the correct answer here. If I said no I wouldn’t get to draw it.

So I’m thinking Glimglam, Twilight and Sunset are magic enough. Trixie would pretend she could do it but just end up clinging on for dear life. And Lyra just thought it looked fun and jumped aboard last minute.

Twilight- “Pretty recently, ponies all over have started to change like Ms. Shimmer here, though, not all as suddenly. My friends and I are trying to find the source… and maybe a cure.”

~”Twilight is the only afflicted alicorn. Her experiments seem to have weakened her immunity. Normally, the ballance of pony magics in an alicorns body would protect her from the curse, as it has myself, and as my blood now does for many of my little ponies.

~”Captain Shimmer will be relieved of her duties until such a time as she becomes accustomed to her new form. Though the blood will help her heal, she will likely ache when she wakes.”
